  One aspect of mindfulness practice is mindful eating, a meditation technique designed to increase awareness of one's current thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. According to studies, eating disorders, anxiety, and other mental health concerns can all benefit from practicing mindfulness meditation. The core of mindful eating entails purposefully slowing down the speed of mealtime and paying complete attention to one's own nourishment.

Unconsciously, we frequently engage in unhealthy behaviours like emotional and binge eating. Sometimes we become so enmeshed in this cycle of anxiety and binge-eating that we lose sight of such unhealthy routines. Not to mention the enormous harm these communities that idolise thinness and enforce diets have inflicted upon us. These traditional notions of beauty can occasionally push people to engage in risky behaviours in an effort to obtain a certain body type. The majority of people lose sight of all the harmful effects of binge eating and the obsession with achieving a certain body type. This necessitates a pressing need to comprehend the fundamentals and in-depth familiarity with unhealthy eating patterns and eating disorders. What if you believe that the cause of your eating disorder is simply a strict diet or binge-eating episodes? Uncontrollable eating behaviours that are detrimental to your health, emotions, and capacity to carry out daily tasks are the root cause of eating di
